The Rent One (a grisely victim of possession)

Written by Gregorius21778

The dreaded thing that is called “The Rent One” is what happens when a certain (and
fortunately seemingly common) warp predator (“the Rending kind”; WP:30) successful
possesses a victim.

Brutal Possession: Every attempt of possession of “the Rending” warp-predator results in 1d5
critical impact damage to a random body part. If the possession is successful, this damage is
ignored. The Render will turn the body into a bloody, broken-but-functional mess anyway.

The Rent(Possessed)
Use the standard rules for possession, but add 2d10 wounds instead of the regular wounds
and the Swift Attack, Furious Assault;  Counter-Strike and Hard Target talents. In addition, add
the Strange Physiology, Regeneration; Fear 2 and Break/Arrange* Traits

*Break/Arrange
The Rent is able to make instant changes to the body by simply breaking and rearranging it. As
a half action, the Rent can add or change one feature to his form. Possible changes are bone
weapons (1d10+STB; PEN:2; Primitive); quadruped/bipedal/crawler; flyer(AB); natural armour,
getting a +10 bonus to one physical attribute while getting -10 to another (Strength; Agility;
Toughness); Gaining the Toxic trait (warped bile!); getting extra limbs trait or anything else the
GM sees fitting.

Only three features can be “maintained” at the same time. Adding/changing one feature is a
half action to the Rent and leaves the it with 1d5 wounds; with a full action three features can be
added/changed which will cause 1d10+2 wounds. This damage will of course regenerate in
mere seconds, as does any damage to the vile thing.

The Rent in the game:

This is best used as a mindless and bloodthirsty beast that exists only to maim and kill. Since
the possession is supposed to be fatal to the victim, pc should be allowed to burn a fate point if
they would otherwise fall victim to “a Rending One”.
While the regenerating ability makes them a little more tough, a one alone will be still no match
to an armed group at Rank 3 our up. But encountered in a pack of three or unleashed by a
Chaos Cult while the Acolythes storm their lair, the Rent can add some bizarre additional
danger.
